SAC Invites HS Students to Earn College Credit
During Summer Engineering Program
 
San Antonio College invites high school students to participate in the Early Development of General Engineering (EDGE) Program during Summer 2003. The program session runs June 2-July 25, 2003 (Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-4 p.m.). Students may apply through Jan. 31.

The EDGE Program is designed to give high school students an opportunity to learn in a collaborative learning community environment at San Antonio College. During the eight-week session, students will be enrolled in College Algebra and Introduction to Engineering. Students will earn four college credits that may be applied toward an Associate degree at SAC or may be transferable toward a bachelor’s degree in engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio or other four-year universities.

In addition to classroom instruction, students will receive supervised study and student success sessions that facilitate the learning process. Study techniques, guest speakers and special presentations related to the engineering field also will be provided.

Program admission is open to 10th- and 11th-grade high school students, and based on academic standing. Cost is $25.

For more information, contact Dehlia Wallis, Learning Communities Coordinator, at 733-2009 or by email to dwallis@accd.edu.
